Protective ventilation with high versus low positive end-expiratory pressure during one-lung ventilation for thoracic surgery (PROTHOR): study protocol for a randomized controlled trial

Abstract Background Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPC) may result in longer duration of in-hospital stay and even mortality.Both thoracic surgery and intraoperative mechanical ventilation settings add considerably to the risk of PPC.It is unclear if one-lung ventilation (OLV) for thoracic surgery with a strategy of intraoperative high posi

Actin dynamics and the elasticity of cytoskeletal networks

The structural integrity of a cell depends Microphone Accessories on its cytoskeleton, which includes an actin network.This network is transient and depends upon the continual polymerization and depolymerization of actin.The degradation of an actin network, and a corresponding reduction in cell stiffness, can indicate the presence of disease.Numeri

Reversible Communicating Processes

Reversible distributed programs have the ability to abort unproductive computation paths and backtrack, while unwinding communication that occurred in the aborted paths.While it is natural to assume that reversibility implies full state recovery (as with traditional roll-back recovery protocols), an interesting alternative is to separate backtracki
